Monitoring
The monitoring function of DeviceLock Enterprise Server allows you to implement real-time monitoring of DeviceLock Services across the network. DeviceLock Enterprise Server can monitor remote computers in real-time, checking DeviceLock Service status (running or not), policy consistency and integrity. The detailed information is written to the special log and can be viewed using the
Monitoring Log Viewer.
Also, it is possible to define a master policy that can be automatically applied across selected remote computers in the event that their current policies are suspected to be out-of-date or damaged.
With DeviceLock Enterprise Server’s monitoring function, it is possible to distribute DeviceLock Service to client computers, which allows for an additional way to deploy DeviceLock Service beyond the traditional methods (software installation GPO, Microsoft SCCM, DeviceLock consoles, local Setup, etc.). For more information, see
Installation via DeviceLock Enterprise Server.
Moreover, you can use this policy recovery feature as an alternative way of deploying settings, permissions, audit, shadowing rules and alerts to remote DeviceLock Services across the network.
All monitoring-related actions are performed by tasks. The tasks are listed in the details pane when you select the Monitoring node in the console tree. Task management includes:

•Viewing computers monitored by a particular task - Expand the
Monitoring node and select the task in the console tree. The list of computers appears in the details pane. For details, see
